As a community centre, to offer life skills also referred to as ‘employability skills’, are those that are completely transferable between industries and occupations. They are often what employees lose jobs on. We teach the students skills of goal setting, financial management, sexual and emotional health, timekeeping and communication. We also address themes of Resilience, Teamwork, and Leadership.
Community-based mentoring relationships involve one-on-one outings and activities, doing things the Big and Little enjoy together, like:
Taking a walk in the park
Going to museum
Going to an event hosted by the local BBBS affiliate
